Honestly, it wouldnt surprise me if Grossman ends up starting. I simply can't see Shanahan starting a rookie and I'm not sure Campbell could beat out Grossman for the starting job. If both were learning a brand new system, he probably could. However, Grossman's got experience in the system and is probably somewhat favored our QB coach and offensive coordinator.

Campbell may very well wind up being our day 1 starter, but i dont think we can assume that he will. I definitely see an open competition, atleast during the early stages of camp. hopefully, we'll have definatively named our starter before the preseason begins.

I'm all for competition but don't you think if they thought Grossman was going to be the starter they would sign him to a longer contract (1year).

Okay... this is news to me. Avoid the internet a few days and THIS is what i run into... Okay, I'm a fan of the Shan man. I've always thought he had a great eye for talent and i seriously expect great things in the near future... but Grossman!? Don't get me wrong. I thought Gibbs was crazy with some of his moves and the ones he had the most say in always seemed to pan out so i learned in the past to take the wait and see aproach and not throw my arms up in disgust at every 'odd' decision... but Grossman!?!? The man only played one 'good' season in which even the biggest Rex fan would have to admit he didn't get them there, their DEFENSE did. There were many games where his defense and special teams combined for more yards than his offense, and on Superbowl Sunday, when he needed to show up the most, he was pathetic. Since then, he hasn't been able to reclaim his #1 spot and i seriously don't want him to claim it here! His best year doesn't compare to Jason Campbell's best. He can barely get over 50% of his passes completed. Most of all, he's thrown more interceptions than touchdowns! Now call me old fashioned, but each position, to me, has a category that's more important to the rest when it comes to winning. For a receiver, it's clutch catching and drops. For a runningback, it's YPC and fumbles. For a QB it's TD vs INT. As basic as it gets, every TD is a chance to win and every INT is a chance for the other team to win. Straight up and down and simple. Everything was looking up to me... but this Grossman deal seriously makes me begin to doubt the Shanahans.

No seriously, Grossman played in this very offense last season under Kyle Shanahan, our new offensive coordinator. So that's a pretty good reason. And honestly, there are some who feel Grossman got a bum deal in Chicago similar to Jason Campbell here in D.C. Not in the same exact way, but all the pieces haven't been there in Chicago for sometime now. So we'll see, but it was by no means a "horrible" signing. The biggest issue I think people have with it around here is the possibility of Grossman starting. That's a legit gripe.
